Etymology
The verb 'wake' originates from the Old English word 'wacan', which means to arise or to become awake. This term has Germanic roots, with cognates found in various Germanic languages, such as 'waken' in Middle English and 'wache' in Old High German. Historically, the concept of waking has been pivotal in various cultures, intertwined with rituals and daily life, as many activities are governed by the cycle of day and night. As English evolved through the Middle Ages, the term took on different variations, leading to the modern forms we use today, with 'woke' and 'waked' both arising from the need for different past tense forms. In recent times, 'woke' has also gained a social and cultural connotation, especially in discussions around awareness of social injustices.
